Side effects from taking Lacosamide

Hi, I've recently transitioned from Sodium Valproate to Lacosamide to control seizures and have noticed since then I now have difficulty urinating and also difficulty getting erections. I also have pains down the left side of my abdomen.Does anyone else notice this as well?
I have been checked for kidney stones and have taken medication just in case it was a UTI, but both cases came back negative.

  1. Hi, yes of course I will see my doctor, but there is a long waiting time so I am just writing this to see what other people experience 😊
    I forgot to mention I'm experiencing mood changes as well.
    Thanks

    1. Hi there! If I were you, I would be specific with the neurologist about the side effects you are having. Let the office know what's going on.




      Keep us updated.

  2. Hi there, I suggest reaching out to your neurologist about the issue. We are healthcare professionals. Let your doctor know all of your concerns. I haven't been on either of these medications, so I don't know the side effects. Please contact your doctor via the portal or call the doctor's office.
